What happened: The reworked contract increases Brissett's 2026 compensation and gives Arizona's 2025 starter added security. He represented himself in the negotiations.
Why it matters: The agreement ends a standoff that kept Brissett out of most of the offseason program before his return to practice. Arizona can now move ahead with installing its offense for the upcoming season.
By the numbers: The $15.5 million value is more than triple his previously scheduled $4.88 million base salary; just $1.5 million had been guaranteed.
What to watch: Brissett's work in the new offense and Arizona's quarterback depth chart will be the next markers as camp progresses.
